By far my favourite Christmas film is The Holiday (2006), directed by Nancy Meyers, with music by the amazing Hans Zimmer (yes, I am listening to the soundtrack as I am writing this). This is also my go-to feel-good movie and sometimes I may watch in July too because, well, you watch it when you need it, okay?
But if it's winter and I am watching this film, I always make myself a huge mug of hot cholate, with only 5 marshmallows, just like Graham makes for his two little girls and for Amanda.
Here's how I make it:
Ingredients (1 serving):
- 400 ml almond milk (or milk of your choice; I also use 400m ml because my mug is huge)
- 16 g milk chocolate (or chocolate of your choice)
- 4 tbsp hot cocoa powder (use instant hot chocolate or whatever - there aren't many rules for this beverage, except for:)
- only 5 marshmallows
Method:
Heat up your milk, add the chocolate and mix with a whisk until the chocolate is melted. Then add the hot cocoa powder and mix well until everything is incorporated. Pour in your favourite holiday mug (the bigger, the better) and add the 5 marshmallows.
Enjoy while watching your favourite Christmas film.
